"Is this what senolytics do?"
I learned today that senolytics are molecules that "... can selectively induce death of senescent cells ..."[1]
Which is interesting but you can already do this with exercise.
Nick Lane wrote a fascinating book[2] about this subject which suggests that your internal mitochondrial population is under selection pressure from your own activity.
If you don't put any pressure on it, energetically ill-performing cells are allowed to thrive.
